All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

@Knov20 yes!!!! This is exactly what I had and didn’t have any implantation bleeding last time. Very very faint line one day, expected it to be darker the next day and it wasn’t so had a bad feeling about it, went away to a hotel for the night and when we arrived I realized I was bleeding and it was like AF amount. It only lasted that night and by the next day dried up. Now testing as 2-3 weeks on a digital so it was definitely a very heavy implantation bleed! Looks like yours is the same! 🥳

Can anyone help with OPK’s? I’m using easy@home with the Premom app. Predicted ovulation was today. I’ve tested 3 times today. The middle test was originally 0.6, but because my test after it was a lot lower, the app automatically changed the 0.6 to peak. I don’t think it was my peak. And I don’t know if my last test was accurate as I urinated between tests so probably wasn’t a good time to test. But has anyone had this before?

Hi all! Joining in the festive TTC thread.

We're trying for baby number 1 and are on our first cycle. I had my Mirena coil out early November, had some withdrawal bleeding then AF came about a week after that. Some anxiety about how long it will take due to age (35) and having had a Mirena coil for 4 years!

I've been charting LH and pretty sure we caught ovulation so there should have been some swimmers up there to catch any potential egg. Currently 6dpo and had some brown spotting today - just waiting to be able to test! I promised myself I wouldn't get too obsessed but here we are checking Flo app every day like it will tell me anything new and scouring forums. Really hoping brown spotting isn't AF coming super early as am v aware that my hormones might not be stabalised after having hormone IUD for so long. Eeek!

@Misspotterscat sorry you’re having an off cycle, they are so annoying.
you’re a pro, then. I just wanted to check to avoid others having the same experience as me.

@Sb86 I hear ya. I did the same yesterday and was really sad the rest of the night. Onto the next cycle 😭

@Knov20 how strange! I've got my fingers tightly crossed for you. I think I'm out, I believe af arrived this morning, this cycle has been super short compared to usual with only 20 days 🙃 App is saying my next ovulation is the 28th so either I just go and enjoy the festivities and wait til January to try again or I don't have a drink over Christmas (which isn't the be all and end all) see how I feel. Starting crying this morning with af arriving, so disheartening when you've done everything in your power.

I'm now 6dpo, know its really to early but my nipples are really sensitive and I feel really hungry, probably just wishful thinking!!!

I did this last month and I’m planning to this month. It’s been a tricky one for OPKs this month. The pattern that I’ve noticed over previous months hasn’t happened, and as I said previously the highest I’ve recorded is 0.7. Today I’m down to 0.12. I started taking evening primrose oil supplements and can only think this is why as I’ve read it can push back ovulation. On the plus side I’ve noticed much more ewcm than I have had previously. I don’t think this will be my month

So the bleeding had now stopped. I don't remember having any implantation bleeding with my little boy.
It's now turned brown. God knows what's going on! I also did this pregnancy test and I saw a faint line but I'm just not trusting it

Also I recommend keep doing OPKs until you get a peak or your period. Often your body tries to ovulate and then again, and again, and when it finally does you’ve missed it because you thought it was before!

Just to say be careful with this. There’s no ‘my’ peak with OPKs, it has to be darker or as dark as the test line or it’s not positive.
I say this after a year of getting ‘hmm only just’ OPKs, and it turned out from tests I wasn’t actually ovulating.
you can miss the peak of course but it’s rare.

Welcome @Laul89 !

Annoyingly AF arrived this morning on CD28 which is very unusual as I usually have regular 31 day cycles. Oh well, means the next cycle comes sooner at least!

Hoping for positive new for you

Hey all. How you all doing? On CD14. App predicting ovulation tomorrow but nowhere near a peak on my OPK’s, todays was 0.4 but been having ovulation type pain today. Fingers crossed for a peak tomorrow so I can finally join the tww

@Knov20 ahhh so sorry to hear this 🥺

@becomingfall @Parkopedia CD27 over here too! AF due next Wednesday. TWW has felt a little more bearable this month thanks to the Christmas distractions!
I’m feeling a little different tonight - headache and on and off sickly feeling with a watery mouth.. comes and goes! I’m probably coming down with that horrible cold everyone has but I hope it’s pregnancy related 🤣🤞🏼 probably too early for it to be that though!!
Going to hold out & test next Friday if AF doesn’t arrive before then as I can’t put myself through the disappointment after my chemical last month. Have a night out on 23rd so feeling a bit nervous about it all!

@Roxybabe good to see you back 🥰

Well I went to the shop today and got another test and just as I went to do it realised I was bleeding. Talk about a roller coaster. AF I would surmise due to the amount and colour! Gutted :(

0.7 on ovulation test yesterday so assuming that’s my peak and hoping it’s enough.

@Knov20 when are you testing again? I got a ‘not pregnant’ a week ago today after getting a faint line on a FRER but was then confused as the following day’s FRER wasn’t much darker at all. Had bleeding so fully ruled it out, long story short it was just too early for the digital and I got stronger and stronger lines on a FRER then a 2-3 weeks on the digital yesterday! Don’t lose hope just because the digital tells you you’re not 🤞🏼

CD1 here so no Christmas BFP for me 😢 plus side is first period since ds1 and still breastfeeding so hopefully can crack on now hopefully still concieve a 2023 baby 🤞🏻

Hi ladies, so I’m currently 1dpo according to my Flo app! I had an ectopic pregnancy in may, in which resulted in me losing my right tube. 😞. This is my first month ttc since my ectopic in may, so very nervous and sure it won’t happen in this first month! But none the less I am and will keep trying! Good luck to everyone here! I will probably test around 10/11 dpo which will be Christmas morning x

@becomingfall ahh it's so hard not to symptom spot!! Every little twinge has me on edge. Also I'm constantly comparing to how I felt with DD.

I 100% felt the implantation with her, it was a sharp pain on one side for just a second, but stopped me in my tracks. And then a few days later I was so nauseous I couldn't eat (very unusual for me 😅) which prompted me to test. Clear positive at 11dpo.

I know everytime is different but none of that has happened this month so along with the BFNs I'm probably out this month.

Let us know when you do test, good luck!!

7dpo here, or could be 8 I didn’t track this month. Spending the afternoon making mince pies and trying to not think about testing. I think I’ll have to test before my Christmas party next week if AF doesn’t show

hello,

hope you I can join you all TTC. Just waiting on AF ending so I can start cycle 3 🤞🏻

@Parkopedia i have replied above just forgot to tag you 😂

Woo cycle buddy! I definitely haven’t been this patient the last 4 months I was just fed up of the disappointment so I’ve forced myself to wait this month 😂

i Have been playing the symptom spotting game though, mainly cos my boobs are SO sore I can’t help it 😂
